Sewing Machine Cabinets
Arrow And Kangaroo Sewing Cabinets Are Your Best Choice


Why the need for sewing machine cabinets?

Sewing machines are a wonderful invention, but they can take up a lot of space.

Are you are a serious sewer? Do you also have all kinds of equipment lying around-your fabrics, your needles, your thread, your projects, your scissors, your patterns, etc?

Keeping a whole room set aside for sewing just isn't an option for most people, and if you have kids or pets, you probably want your sharp objects and your precious projects off the floor and out of their reach.

You may also have found that when it comes to keeping your projects and materials organized, using a normal table just doesn't cut it, even if it's designed to be a sewing table.

Sewing cabinets are the perfect solution. They eliminate ugly clutter, streamline and organize your materials, and keep everything safe and convenient in one spot so that you can focus all you energy on sewing. That's the way it should be.

Popular brands include Arrow and Kangaroo, which are modestly priced and deliver lots of pleasant surprises. Their foldout designs can give you 12 to 21 feet of workspace, which then retracts and folds to make the cabinet extremely small when you don't need it.

There are drawers, racks, and compartments for almost everything you can imagine, as well as discreet black wheels underneath to make it movable.

Arrow Sewing Machine Cabinets

Arrow cabinets are known for their beautiful appearance, which mimics fine furniture and looks good in any room in your house. This flexibility makes it a favorite.

Upon further investigation of your Arrow, you will find that there is nothing you could possibly need that it doesn't already have. From a foldout leaf on the side to comprehensive drawer-style organization on both sides, this brand really packs a punch for a low price.

Some specifics:
- Arrow makes all of their products with MDF (medium density fiberboard) covered in laminate, in order to be as lightweight yet durable as possible.

- Each model features three different positions for your sewing machine and an airlift to assist in pushing it into place.

- The sewing machine has its own platform to make it easy to move the cabinet into different positions.

Kangaroo Sewing Machine Cabinets

Another popular brand is Kangaroo Kabinets. Whereas Arrow is a generic, one-size-fits all sewing cabinet, Kangaroo offers you more specialized choices.

They have designs for quilting and embroidery as well as standard sewing, and their star invention is the Kangaroo Kabinet Sewing Range, which initially looks like a simple TV-stand type cabinet-and then suddenly folds out into a huge array of tables, drawers and gadgets twice its original size!

Thanks to its small, well-made black wheels, Kangaroo is equally as maneuverable as its Arrow cousin, and its storage and brilliant engineering make it second only to a magic trick.

Some facts about Kangaroo:
- The cabinets are made of MDF which has been constructed from recyclable materials.

- All products have a one-year warranty.

- There are seven models of sewing machine cabinets for every taste-the Aussie, the Wallaby, the Kangaroo, the Joey, the Dingo, the Wombat, and the Boomerang.

- The various models are super space-efficient. For example, the Aussie is about the size of a smaller dresser, but folds out to provide nearly 32 feet of working space.

Summary

Arrow and Kangaroo are among the top-rated in their class for both functionality and appearance. You can see the difference in their manufacturing quality and the thoughtfulness with which they have been designed; they are always thinking of you, the consumer, and what you will need when you use their product.

For example, their tabletops are made of durable Formica. This high-quality material means that you can use your sharp needles and scissors without worrying about cosmetic damage, and will keep your sewing machine cabinet beautiful for many years to come.
